Mini Mania Scarf, all my leftover sock yarns

Hands and Feet:

Mitten (my own design), Patons Classic Wool

Hats:

1898 Hat, Andre's Alpacas Sock (held quadruple) - hibernating
1898 Hat, Sirdar Snuggly
1898 Hat, Mary Maxim Aran Irish Tweed

The first mitt isn't fully done, as I still need to do the embroidery part.  But the charts are complete and the written pattern is almost done.

I finished the hat, made another for my husband, and then started another for my son.  I might have had that one done for January, too, but we all came down with something.

I kinda cheated on the last goal and made the prototype mitt my CYW project.

February Goals:  Try not to freak out too much at the thought of going back to work and putting my son in daycare.  Finish that hat (it's almost done).  Work on the Rosemary cardigan, even though I'm pretty sure I'll run out of yarn first.

Still trying not to freak out about Monday (going back to work).  Finished the hat, started and finished three more projects (two were for a birthday present), and worked a bit on the cardigan.

March Goals:  Finish those mittens!

Two out of three ain't bad, but I didn't work on the prototype mitt at all.  I finished three projects, though!  The ponchetta is a birthday gift and took less than a week to knit.

January Goals:  Finish first prototype mitt and work on the charts.  Finish hat for Dad.  Maybe cast on a Colour Your Winter project.
